Gay Pride, also known as LGBTQ Pride, is an annual celebration of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community. These events take place around the world to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969, which marked a turning point in the LGBTQ rights movement.
The first Pride march was held in New York City on June 28, 1970, one year after the Stonewall Riots. Since then, Pride has become an international symbol of LGBTQ acceptance and equality, with events held in over 200 cities worldwide.
Gay Pride has played a significant role in advancing LGBTQ rights and visibility. It provides a platform for LGBTQ individuals to celebrate their identities and build community. Pride events also raise awareness about LGBTQ issues and advocate for equality and justice.
According to the Human Rights Campaign:
